Chloe, you made me so proud

My Chloe is only 5 years of age and yet she have demonstrated to me the enthusiam and the commitment to her team. She cheered loudly with gusto, she bodily gestured every lyrical cheer she was supposedly to and jumped and leaped as high as she could. What a sight to behold! My Chloe have the makings of a good team member. May she continue to have such good spririts when barriers and troubles thrown at her when my Chloe comes of age.

I am very strict with her and screams at her when she refuse to listen to Kelly. I know, I know. I must excercise patience and abundance of it. She is my first born and as a dad like any other dads, I am extremely proud of her when she scores the highest marks in her whole class or brought home a repost card full of A's. It is not obvious that I only wanted the best for her? OK, sometimes the best for Kelly too.

Chloe was once categorised by a child phychologist (in some seminars to bring out the best in children) as an Alpha Female. Gosh I hope she would at least listen to Kelly when I am old, senile and sick. She likes giving instructions without she realiasing it. She would argue and act mercilessly to get what she wants. She would frown and show a high level of distress in her face if she realise that she cannot get what she wants. My Chloe has a lot to learn and I have the work cut-out for myself.

Nevertheless, Chloe is always cheerful, happy and always ready to help (if her mood is good and provided you ask using the most polite intonation and carefully choose your words).

Photos are taken during 2009 Mayter Montessori Sports Day at Cheras Badminton Hall whwere Chloe got 1st prize in her event "Packing for School" methinks.

My Chloe, you will always be loved by your sister Abigail, mommy and daddy.
